"Thank You!" for saving my life, unknown truck drivers from (me!) sandra, tvgp
this is a stock photo -but it will be on proud display in studio 213. i have not kept track. i do not have an actual number -but over the years, and even more so, over the recent 5 years
i have found myself driving at night -in terrible rain storms -with next to no visibility, on highways and freeways
and i absolutely am so preoccupied with staying alive, i can't even pray
and
on several occasions, including just the other day
a big rig... an 18 wheeler.. becomes literally my only hope
and on the occasions i can, i will navigate myself, best i can, write behind one of these and follow their lights until i can actually see an exit...
there were occasions i followed to an exit.. pulled over, and had to wait for hours until either the rain lightened up, or visibility improved with some day light..
it is very scary
but just the other day.. horrific rain storm, no visibility -despite it being day time, the dark cloud cover made it like midnight -and, the chronic splashing from other cars on the freeway
i was terrified -and i couldn't see any lines -couldnt make out where one lane ended and another began
and "Thank You God!" and "Thank You! unknown truck driver..."
-you were in the slow lane, and i wanted to get behind you... but there was also a bend in the road..
next thing you know..
well,
you moved from the slow lane, in front of (me!) -as if to guide. as if you knew, and were there to guide
that move saved me from an accident; i know this.
and because we were not in the slow lane... it did mean i had to maneuver two lanes once the exit appeared
i was torn... keep following you? or take my exit...
-sign of cross; take exit...
and wow! to how much visibility improved just being off the freeway away from the chronic storm, plus car splash
but,
this is just one of many times unknown truck drivers have saved my life; spared me from an accident
via prayer, i request God bless you & your loved ones, 7 fold. hallelujah! & amen!
